Total sidenote but someone should start a cryptocurrency that is proof of Storage-space(does that exist?), where you have to allocate space to mirror the content of the Internet Archive. Is there a way that could work? (I know almost nothin

I think they are talking about the idea that individual recycling, less consumption will somehow fix this problem, as all the big polluting industries would like you to think? I think the only ways to actually tackle this is to put a price

I feel so helpless about this, I try to limit my own impact on the environment (not flying, not owning a car) but I know that it's basically useless to solve this bottom up. The problem is that the people who are most able to actually

Quick question about findka, Is the idea to only upvote/downvote things you have actually experienced and liked or dislike, or do you also upvote/downvote things you don't know but like or dislike? I would think the first cas

It seems like it's only a matter of time before someone dies from a rubber bullet, given how casually they are being used. I've seen enough footage on twitter to get the feeling that the press is speficially being targeted [0] [0]

I love complaining about 'kids these days' & their music tastes as much as the next guy, but don't lose sight of the fact that we now have more access to amazing music than ever before. You just have to find it. I thought
